Winter Harp-Evening Concert

Event Description

In its 31st year, and as popular today as ever, one of this country’s most joyous annual traditions returns to Victoria this December with two performances on December 13th.

Known for sold-out houses and standing ovations, this ensemble is a “must-see” ticket on the holiday calendar. Winter Harp is a joyous concert experience that has captured the spirit of the season, and audience’s hearts, for more than three decades. On stage, Winter Harp’s outstanding musicians and singers, clad in beautiful medieval attire, perform a collection of music that ranges from familiar carols to Celtic, medieval and world tunes.

The Alix Goolden theatre sets a gorgeous backdrop for the ensemble’s golden Celtic and
classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, flutes, and an assortment of beautiful,
ancient and rare instruments, including the ethereal-sounding bass psaltery (the only one like it
in the world), the organistrum (an early form of the hurdy-gurdy) and the Swedish nyckelharpa.
For more than 30 years, tens of thousands of people have made Winter Harp their annual
tradition -- now that is something to celebrate! Winter Harp . . . Christmas begins here.

The Matinee is at 3pm with Doors at 2:30pm. The Evening concert is at 7:30pm with Doors at 7pm. Both are expected to sell out, so buy your ticket today at https://vcm.bc.ca/event/winter-harp-2024/.
